Synopsis

After focusing on topics ranging from teamwork and leadership to employee engagement and meetings  New York Times best-selling author Patrick Lencioni has finally turned his attention toward his own craft—consulting and client service. Tapping into the simple but powerful model that his firm, The Table Group, has been built on, Lencioni presents what may be his most engaging, humorous audiobook yet.
           
Getting Naked tells the remarkable story of a management consultant who is trying desperately to merge two firms with very different approaches to serving clients. One relies on vulnerability and complete transparency; the other focuses on proving its competence and protecting its reputation for intellectual prowess. In the process of managing the merger, the consultant is forced to learn life-changing lessons that prove to be as relevant as they are painful.
           
As he does in his other audiobooks, Lencioni provides readers with concepts that are accessible and compelling. He explains the three fears that provoke service providers to unknowingly sabotage their ability to build trust and loyalty. And, as always, Lencioni provides a practical approach for overcoming those fears.

I hate that I am now the person that gives consistent 5 star reviews for leadership/business books, but here I am…mostly unashamed! It’s books likes these that make me not only a better, more confident and empathetic leader, but a better person too! Lencioni’s ideas here, as well as in his other boo......more

Goodreads review by Mindaugas on January 31, 2022

It was astounding how much more comfortable I felt just being honest. A decent Lencioni fable, not one of the best, not one of the worst. The practicality is a bit lessened by the fact that the lessons will serve service companies the most.......more
